A hunt has been launched after parking wars led to a verbal bust-up and a man driving at a female resident.

Cambridgeshire police have launched an investigation into the alleged incident, which happened in School Road, Warboys.

The driver had parked in a communal parking area in a space reserved for residents.

It was then that the man was confronted and challenged by a resident before he became “verbally aggressive” towards the woman.

He then “revved his engine up” and deliberately bumped into the woman, according to police.

The incident happened just after 11am on Saturday, November 5, and police have launched an appeal for information.

A force spokesman said: “There was an incident in a communal parking area just off School Road, in which a visitor to one of the nearby properties attempted to park in a spot reserved for residents.

“When a resident pointed this out to the driver, he is reported to have become verbally aggressive towards her, revved his engine and bumped the car into her leg, before leaving the car at the entrance to the car park.

“Police have carried out local enquiries, and investigations into the incident are continuing.”
